How to be dominant in the bedroom and get the pleasure you deserve

Being dominant in bed isn’t something many people are naturally inclined to be. That’s why you may have to learn the ropes. If you want to learn how to be dominant in bed so you can start getting the pleasure you really want, here’s how to do it.

Things to keep in mind beforehand

#1 Discuss it with your partner, first. The thing about learning how to be dominant in bed is that you’re probably not already. Meaning your partner could be in for a huge shock when you decide to get demanding. For that reason, you should probably discuss it a little first.

#2 Start slowly and work your way up. Don’t just walk in the bedroom cracking whips right off the bat. Take your time and begin with something a little more subtle. Moving your partner’s hands to where you want them and whispering sexily in their ear is a great place to start.

#3 Only do what you’re comfortable with. Don’t start throwing out phrases that you looked up on the internet. That’s just not the way to be dominant in bed. Only go as far as you’re comfortable with. If you really feel awkward while commanding your significant other, it’ll be obvious and much less effective.

#1 Learn what you like, first. You can’t really tell your partner to do something if you’re not sure how it feels, can you? My advice would be to get busy with yourself and find out what feels best. Then you can direct your significant other in bed much more accurately. [Read: 15 powerful benefits of masturbation]

#2 Have confidence. If you really want to know how to be dominant in bed, you have to increase your level of confidence. You need to be certain about what you say. Otherwise, it can come across as awkward and won’t have the desired effect. AKA, you won’t feel the pleasure you want.

#3 Start in the foreplay. The best way to show your dominance is from the start of your sexcapades. Get bossy right away during foreplay. Make sure your partner knows what you want right off the bat and you’ll feel that pleasure intensify as you get more involved. This also sets the tone for the rest of your bang session.

#4 If you’re too shy to talk, guide them with your hands. Don’t worry about being shy. If you’re not comfortable with being verbally demanding just yet, then get physically demanding. Take your significant other’s hands and guide them where you want them. You can still be demanding in the bedroom even if you’re silent.

#5 Start by being verbal about what feels good. Another way to ease into your demands is to start out by telling them when you like something.

Make sure they know they’re doing the right thing when they are. Something as simple as, “that feels good, keep going,” is more than enough to get them in the right direction while still being dominant. [Read: 30 lustful things to say in the bedroom]

#6 Whisper in their ear what you want. Get close to their ears and sexily whisper what you want from them. You can use this in combination with telling them what feels good. Lean in close and whisper something like, “I love it when you touch me there. Do it again,” is dominant, yet subtle.

#7 Start commanding them. If all of that’s going well for you, then start demanding what you want. Tell them what to do and be assertive. Don’t take no for an answer and make sure they know you won’t. This type of dominance can be a lot if you’re not used to it. So ease into it and make sure they’re happy with what you’re doing too.

#8 Gauge how they’re taking it. It’s important to remember that your partner may not be very good with dominance. They could take it as a negative about their ability to please you. So gauge how they’re feeling when you start and work up from there.

#9 Get comfortable with your dominance. I understand that it can be a little odd commanding your partner to do something, but you have to get used to it.

#10 Let them know when they’re doing the right thing. Some people can be a little too demanding in the bedroom and that can be discouraging to their partner. Just because you’re bossing your partner around doesn’t mean you can’t be encouraging at the same time. So let them know if they’re doing exactly what you want so they can get that boost of confidence.
